PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: At the start of the duel, the reason I chose scissors instead of rock was to foil my opponents paper. I saw this as a threat because paper is clearly the strongest of the three.
Duel: TokyoCandlelight vs mirinsan
Song: The FineEvery DayArtist: Kicco
I realised the potential of MagicalMerchant a while back, when I first used it in a PowerBondCyberOTK. I'd include 3 Magical Merchants and build the deck very monster heavy to increase the chance I'd mill 1 of 3 Cyber Dragons into the grave and add OverloadFusion to my hand via Merchant's effect. I also used 3 Monster Reincarnations to fetch the milled Cyber Dragons and Power Bond them together to (in most cases) win immediately. Back then it was impossible to make a deck like this, because cards like Jinzo Returner and Wulf didn't exist. Now that they do, I couldn't resist trying this deck out :)
My edit fits in as many cards that activate in the grave as possible. Necro Gardnas don't really have a place in the deck, seeing as when the flood hits my opponent usually resorts to destruction rather than battle, but better to mill something that might save my life rather than a card that does nothing in the grave. I'm also using Lightsworn in my deck along with Herald Of Creation to resurrect JudgementDragon to be summoned after the mill. However summoning him is only possible if I open with either JD or Herald, because after I mill I have no other way to get them back. I chose ZombieMasters as Mezuki's target partly because they can swarm the field on their own without having to use the normal summon like Il Blud, but on the most part was their ability to discard. Often I start with Jinzo/Returner/Mezuki/Necro/Lightsworn/Marron in my hand that need to be in the graveyard to activate or benefit JD. I use a few monsters with draw power in hopes of drawing Merchant if I don't start with it. I also use Mystic Tomatoes to search for Sangan who then searches for Merchant. I only use one Dog Marron to free up space for other vital monsters. Usually when I mill and Marron goes into the deck, I kill my opponent on that same turn. If I don't, the various discard/mill effects can shuffle him in again after drawing him, to give me another turn if needed. The only drawback with this is drawing him before the mill. If I have Merchant, I can't activate it because I'll deck out. I need to first activate a discard effect to shuffle him back in, then set Merchant. The key monsters with discard effects are Zombie Master and Herald, but both depend on specific cards being in the graveyard which is unlikely in the opening few turns. My only other options are SnipeHunter, Morphing Jar and Dragon Ice. I'm considering adding a second Marron but for now it works ok :)
Enjoy x

Satoyama Holiday in Japan 2020 Visiting the town of Omi-Hino-merchants
Part2
https://youtu.be/_PFhOrFNVGs
Tokyo Olympic Games will be held in 2020 and many people are planning to come to Japan. A lot of people are probably thinking of going to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
However these cities don’t represent Japan. If you want to see the authentic Japan, you must come to Satoyama.
One of Satoyama areas near Kyoto is Hino Town in Shiga Prefecture. It has many rice fields, mountains, and rivers to experience Satoyama life; such as Satoyama cycling, walking, mountain climbing, working in rice paddies and vegetable gardens.
On top of that, Hino is the birth place of Omi-Hino-merchants and it has historical significance. There are many Kominkas, traditional style Japanese houses which used to belong to Omi-Hino-merchants, and they are as elegant as Machiyas in Kyoto.
At the end of October there is a festival called Sajiki MadoArtFestival, and it is a good time to visit Hino along with Hino Festival in May and Hinamatsuri Kiko in March.
In this video I am showing the town of Hino during Sajiki Mado Art Festival.
If you are visiting Kyoto anyway, you should consider coming to Hino Town since it is only one and half hours from Kyoto. You can enjoy traditional Japanese culture here without surrounded by so many tourists.

This museum was established to teach future generations about the culture of the shitamachi. The shitamachi was originally an area of Edo* where the common people lived. The word shitamachi is composed of the word shita meaning "down" and machi meaning "town," and one can often see it translated into English literally as "downtown." However, shitamachi is not the same as the English word downtown, which refers to a city's central businessdistrict. The shitamachi name originated from the actual level of the land in the area. In Edo, the land to the south-east of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) was lowlands, and the land to the north-west was a plateau, and during the formative years of the city, the lowlands became the place where artisans and merchants lived. This lowlands area near Edo Castle became known as shitamachi.
There were many unique qualities that defined the shitamachi and still exercise an influence over the area today. For example, the shitamachi's high population density resulted in the building of crowded tenement houses called nagaya. These nagaya were made of wood and built very close together, which rendered the region highly susceptible to fire.This living environment bred a people with a unique disposition and way of life. The culture of the shitamachi is the culture of Tokyo's common people, and it contributed greatly to the culture of Edo just as it contributes to Tokyo as a city today.
People's lifestyles change when their living environment changes, and old culture is naturally lost over time. In 1868, Edo was renamed Tokyo and the city began to modernize, but traces of the old ways remained in the shitamachi. The massive destruction caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the wartime fires of 1945, and the reconstruction following these disasters are what really changed Tokyo. The 1960s saw a development boom spurred on by the 1964Tokyo Summer Olympics, and this era also saw a dramatic increase in the use of electric appliances, all which further sped the degree of change in the city. The initial movement for the establishment of this museum began during that time.
During this period of rapid change the people did gain convenience and comfort, but they began to lose or forget many other things. The desire to somehow preserve these things for future generations was the basis for founding the museum. Many supporters from within Taito-ku and beyond contributed a variety of items, and the Shitamachi Museum opened in 1980.

This chapter’s theme is “History”, introducing the Edo-Tokyo Museum(Tokyo) and Yoshinogari Site(Saga)
■Tokyo：Edo-Tokyo Museum
A realistic recreation of the Tokyo of three centuries ago, when it was a town named Edo bustling with merchants and craftsmen. The Edo-Tokyo Museum displays treasured historic buildings and scenes of everyday Edo life.
The museum also features a theatre for traditional Japanese artistic performances, such as "koto", the stringed instrument, "daikagura", a juggling and balancing act and "kamikiri", or papercutting.
Edo-Tokyo Museum

■Saga：Yoshinogari Site
The Yoshinogari site is the scene of a village that existed here during the Yayoi period over 3,000 years ago.
The beautiful park recreates some 20 structures that existed
at the time.
There are plenty of Yayoi period activities to try here, including fire- and "magatama" (teardrop-shaped beads)-making.
The view across the charming village and ancient forest from the watchtower is breathtaking.

7 POPULAR JAPANESE DISHES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY JAPANESE
We've done 3 videos already on natto, a very traditional Japanese dish with no foreign influences. We decided to switch it up this time and make a video on Japanese dishes that a lot of people may think is traditional but is actually of foreign origins.
Most of these dishes came from the Meiji Peroid, shortly after Japan's national seclusion from the rest of the world.
1. Tempura
- tempura batter lighter, airier, crispier than other batters
- Portuguese merchants & missionaries before 17th century introduced the prototype for this cooking method
- Tempura came from the word latin word Tempora
- Over time, batter adjusted to maximise the Japanese seafood freshness. It got lighter and less fritter like.
- Some think the Indian pakora was picked up by the Portuguese and then to the Japanese which evolved into tempura.
2. Japanese CurryRice
- Iconically Japanese, family dish mum would make often
- Less spicy, more sweet & more thick than other curries
- Meiji Period
- Introduced by British sailors and merchants, and they got it from India
- Adjusted to Japanese palettes over time
- Curry thickness comes from the French roux
- Essentially Japanese curry is an Indian dish introduced by the British Empire and adapted using French techniques!
3. Tonkatsu
- Breaded deep fried pork cutlet using Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- Sauce is like a thickened Worcestershire sauce
- Meiji Period
- Rengatei, a Tokyo restaurant in 1899, though to have created Tonkatsu
- Influences from Austria's Wiener or Viennese Schnitzel and Italy's Cotoletta alla milanese (Milan)
4. Hayashi Rice
- Similar to Japanese curry
- Beef, onions, button mushrooms & demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- Origins from western beef stews eg. Beef Stroganoff, Beef Bourguignon
5. Ramen
- From China
- Chinese traders in late 19th century introduced Lamien
- Lamien became Ramen
Our 10 Things You Didn't Know About RAMEN video: https://youtu.be/x7N-zD0n4Hc
6. Hambagu Steak
- Japanese mince patty
- Demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- German roots: Hambagu Steak similar to Hamburg Steak
- Also similar to AmericanSalisbury Steak
7. Omurice
- Japanese omelet with Japanese fried rice and ketchup / tomato sauce on top
- Similar roots to Tonkatsu, in fact exact same restaurant Rengatei
- Inspired from French omelet
- Also inspired by the Japanese Chakin-Zushi
- The creator combined these 2 ideas
Which of these popular Japanese dishes did you already know the foreign history of?

How to exchange money in Japan? Japan is a cash society. Luckily, it is the safest country in the world so it's okay to carry large amounts of cash with you at all times without the worry of being mugged or held up. Generally there is no need to buy Japanese yen in your home country before your trip, as you will most likely pay a higher commission (about 3%) and a worse exchange rate than you would get at the airports, banks, or ATMs in Japan.
If you are changing cash, you frequently get a better rate at certain airport counters because they hold and trade that same cash out, but in inside the country the spread on cash is 3 to 4%.
Hint: Many machines issue bills of 1,000 and 10,000 yen. If you prefer to have some smaller bills, withdraw an amount such as 19,000 Y for 9 x 1,000 Y notes instead of 2 x 10,000 notes by withdrawing 20,000 Y. Breaking a large bill for a small amounts does not seem to be a problem in Japan though - most merchants carry plenty of change.
Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and larger restaurants. Small business hotels and small restaurants generally do not accept credit cards. The credit card company will charge a fee on your bill for foreign exchange (usually 1-3%), and there may be a surcharge from the retailer/hotel to pay by credit card - ask first.
Foreign currency and foreign travelers checks are not accepted anywhere in Japan except on certain U.S. military bases and facilities

Plot

"Interior Design"

Directed by Michel Gondry. It is an adaptation of the short story comic "Cecil and Jordan in New York" by Gabrielle Bell.

Hiroko and Akira (Ayako Fujitani and Ryō Kase) are a young couple from the provinces who arrive in Tokyo with limited funds, short-term lodging and what appears to be a solid and mutually supportive relationship that will seemingly carry them through any challenge. Akira is an aspiring filmmaker whose debut feature will soon screen in the city — and hopefully lead to a more solid career; in the interim, he lands work wrapping gifts at a local department store. After securing short-term housing in the cramped studio apartment of old school chum Akemi (Ayumi Ito) — a career girl with a demanding boyfriend who grows weary of Akemi's houseguests — Hiroko hits the streets of Tokyo in search of a suitable apartment, finding a series of rat-infested hovels that neither she nor Akira can afford on their limited salaries. After Akira's film screens to dubious acclaim, one spectator informs Hiroko of the inherent struggles in relationships between creative types: often, one half of a couple feels invisible, useless, or unappreciated, something Hiroko relates to wholeheartedly in the wake of her numerous trials and tribulations in the unfamiliar city of Tokyo. She starts to question her role in the relationship, resulting in a startling transformation in which she turns into a wooden chair, and is taken in by a young man.

Tokyo Merchant 2009 vs Skill Drain

Tokyo Merchant 2009 vs Skill Drain

Tokyo Merchant 2009 vs Skill Drain

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: At the start of the duel, the reason I chose scissors instead of rock was to foil my opponents paper. I saw this as a threat because paper is clearly the strongest of the three.
Duel: TokyoCandlelight vs mirinsan
Song: The FineEvery DayArtist: Kicco
I realised the potential of MagicalMerchant a while back, when I first used it in a PowerBondCyberOTK. I'd include 3 Magical Merchants and build the deck very monster heavy to increase the chance I'd mill 1 of 3 Cyber Dragons into the grave and add OverloadFusion to my hand via Merchant's effect. I also used 3 Monster Reincarnations to fetch the milled Cyber Dragons and Power Bond them together to (in most cases) win immediately. Back then it was impossible to make a deck like this, because cards like Jinzo Returner and Wulf didn't exist. Now that they do, I couldn't resist trying this deck out :)
My edit fits in as many cards that activate in the grave as possible. Necro Gardnas don't really have a place in the deck, seeing as when the flood hits my opponent usually resorts to destruction rather than battle, but better to mill something that might save my life rather than a card that does nothing in the grave. I'm also using Lightsworn in my deck along with Herald Of Creation to resurrect JudgementDragon to be summoned after the mill. However summoning him is only possible if I open with either JD or Herald, because after I mill I have no other way to get them back. I chose ZombieMasters as Mezuki's target partly because they can swarm the field on their own without having to use the normal summon like Il Blud, but on the most part was their ability to discard. Often I start with Jinzo/Returner/Mezuki/Necro/Lightsworn/Marron in my hand that need to be in the graveyard to activate or benefit JD. I use a few monsters with draw power in hopes of drawing Merchant if I don't start with it. I also use Mystic Tomatoes to search for Sangan who then searches for Merchant. I only use one Dog Marron to free up space for other vital monsters. Usually when I mill and Marron goes into the deck, I kill my opponent on that same turn. If I don't, the various discard/mill effects can shuffle him in again after drawing him, to give me another turn if needed. The only drawback with this is drawing him before the mill. If I have Merchant, I can't activate it because I'll deck out. I need to first activate a discard effect to shuffle him back in, then set Merchant. The key monsters with discard effects are Zombie Master and Herald, but both depend on specific cards being in the graveyard which is unlikely in the opening few turns. My only other options are SnipeHunter, Morphing Jar and Dragon Ice. I'm considering adding a second Marron but for now it works ok :)

Tokyo Olympic Games will be held in 2020 and many people are planning to come to Japan. A lot of people are probably thinking of going to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
However these cities don’t represent Japan. If you want to see the authentic Japan, you must come to Satoyama.
One of Satoyama areas near Kyoto is Hino Town in Shiga Prefecture. It has many rice fields, mountains, and rivers to experience Satoyama life; such as Satoyama cycling, walking, mountain climbing, working in rice paddies and vegetable gardens.
On top of that, Hino is the birth place of Omi-Hino-merchants and it has historical significance. There are many Kominkas, traditional style Japanese houses which used to belong to Omi-Hino-merchants, and they are as elegant as Machiyas in Kyoto.
At the end of October there is a festival called Sajiki MadoArtFestival, and it is a good time to visit Hino along with Hino Festival in May and Hinamatsuri Kiko in March.
In this video I am showing the town of Hino during Sajiki Mado Art Festival.
If you are visiting Kyoto anyway, you should consider coming to Hino Town since it is only one and half hours from Kyoto. You can enjoy traditional Japanese culture here without surrounded by so many tourists.

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

This museum was established to teach future generations about the culture of the shitamachi. The shitamachi was originally an area of Edo* where the common people lived. The word shitamachi is composed of the word shita meaning "down" and machi meaning "town," and one can often see it translated into English literally as "downtown." However, shitamachi is not the same as the English word downtown, which refers to a city's central businessdistrict. The shitamachi name originated from the actual level of the land in the area. In Edo, the land to the south-east of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) was lowlands, and the land to the north-west was a plateau, and during the formative years of the city, the lowlands became the place where artisans and merchants lived. This lowlands area near Edo Castle became known as shitamachi.
There were many unique qualities that defined the shitamachi and still exercise an influence over the area today. For example, the shitamachi's high population density resulted in the building of crowded tenement houses called nagaya. These nagaya were made of wood and built very close together, which rendered the region highly susceptible to fire.This living environment bred a people with a unique disposition and way of life. The culture of the shitamachi is the culture of Tokyo's common people, and it contributed greatly to the culture of Edo just as it contributes to Tokyo as a city today.
People's lifestyles change when their living environment changes, and old culture is naturally lost over time. In 1868, Edo was renamed Tokyo and the city began to modernize, but traces of the old ways remained in the shitamachi. The massive destruction caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the wartime fires of 1945, and the reconstruction following these disasters are what really changed Tokyo. The 1960s saw a development boom spurred on by the 1964Tokyo Summer Olympics, and this era also saw a dramatic increase in the use of electric appliances, all which further sped the degree of change in the city. The initial movement for the establishment of this museum began during that time.
During this period of rapid change the people did gain convenience and comfort, but they began to lose or forget many other things. The desire to somehow preserve these things for future generations was the basis for founding the museum. Many supporters from within Taito-ku and beyond contributed a variety of items, and the Shitamachi Museum opened in 1980.

This video is available with supplementary captions.
"360° KYUSHUxTOKYO" is the project that shows you the must-see wonders of Tokyo and prefectures of the Kyushu region, in western Japan, in pairs.
This chapter’s theme is “History”, introducing the Edo-Tokyo Museum(Tokyo) and Yoshinogari Site(Saga)
■Tokyo：Edo-Tokyo Museum
A realistic recreation of the Tokyo of three centuries ago, when it was a town named Edo bustling with merchants and craftsmen. The Edo-Tokyo Museum displays treasured historic buildings and scenes of everyday Edo life.
The museum also features a theatre for traditional Japanese artistic performances, such as "koto", the stringed instrument, "daikagura", a juggling and balancing act and "kamikiri", or papercutting.
Edo-Tokyo Museum
https://www.edo-tokyo-museum.or.jp/en/
■Saga：Yoshinogari Site
The Yoshinogari site is the scene of a village that existed here during the Yayoi period over 3,000 years ago.
The beautiful park recreates some 20 structures that existed
at the time.
There are plenty of Yayoi period activities to try here, including fire- and "magatama" (teardrop-shaped beads)-making.
The view across the charming village and ancient forest from the watchtower is breathtaking.

7 POPULAR JAPANESE DISHES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY JAPANESE
We've done 3 videos already on natto, a very traditional Japanese dish with no foreign influences. We decided to switch it up this time and make a video on Japanese dishes that a lot of people may think is traditional but is actually of foreign origins.
Most of these dishes came from the Meiji Peroid, shortly after Japan's national seclusion from the rest of the world.
1. Tempura
- tempura batter lighter, airier, crispier than other batters
- Portuguese merchants & missionaries before 17th century introduced the prototype for this cooking method
- Tempura came from the word latin word Tempora
- Over time, batter adjusted to maximise the Japanese seafood freshness. It got lighter and less fritter like.
- Some think the Indian pakora was picked up by the Portuguese and then to the Japanese which evolved into tempura.
2. Japanese CurryRice
- Iconically Japanese, family dish mum would make often
- Less spicy, more sweet & more thick than other curries
- Meiji Period
- Introduced by British sailors and merchants, and they got it from India
- Adjusted to Japanese palettes over time
- Curry thickness comes from the French roux
- Essentially Japanese curry is an Indian dish introduced by the British Empire and adapted using French techniques!
3. Tonkatsu
- Breaded deep fried pork cutlet using Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- Sauce is like a thickened Worcestershire sauce
- Meiji Period
- Rengatei, a Tokyo restaurant in 1899, though to have created Tonkatsu
- Influences from Austria's Wiener or Viennese Schnitzel and Italy's Cotoletta alla milanese (Milan)
4. Hayashi Rice
- Similar to Japanese curry
- Beef, onions, button mushrooms & demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- Origins from western beef stews eg. Beef Stroganoff, Beef Bourguignon
5. Ramen
- From China
- Chinese traders in late 19th century introduced Lamien
- Lamien became Ramen
Our 10 Things You Didn't Know About RAMEN video: https://youtu.be/x7N-zD0n4Hc
6. Hambagu Steak
- Japanese mince patty
- Demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- German roots: Hambagu Steak similar to Hamburg Steak
- Also similar to AmericanSalisbury Steak
7. Omurice
- Japanese omelet with Japanese fried rice and ketchup / tomato sauce on top
- Similar roots to Tonkatsu, in fact exact same restaurant Rengatei
- Inspired from French omelet
- Also inspired by the Japanese Chakin-Zushi
- The creator combined these 2 ideas
Which of these popular Japanese dishes did you already know the foreign history of?

MONEY EXCHANGE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵

MONEY EXCHANGE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵

MONEY EXCHANGE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵

How to exchange money in Japan? Japan is a cash society. Luckily, it is the safest country in the world so it's okay to carry large amounts of cash with you at all times without the worry of being mugged or held up. Generally there is no need to buy Japanese yen in your home country before your trip, as you will most likely pay a higher commission (about 3%) and a worse exchange rate than you would get at the airports, banks, or ATMs in Japan.
If you are changing cash, you frequently get a better rate at certain airport counters because they hold and trade that same cash out, but in inside the country the spread on cash is 3 to 4%.
Hint: Many machines issue bills of 1,000 and 10,000 yen. If you prefer to have some smaller bills, withdraw an amount such as 19,000 Y for 9 x 1,000 Y notes instead of 2 x 10,000 notes by withdrawing 20,000 Y. Breaking a large bill for a small amounts does not seem to be a problem in Japan though - most merchants carry plenty of change.
Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and larger restaurants. Small business hotels and small restaurants generally do not accept credit cards. The credit card company will charge a fee on your bill for foreign exchange (usually 1-3%), and there may be a surcharge from the retailer/hotel to pay by credit card - ask first.
Foreign currency and foreign travelers checks are not accepted anywhere in Japan except on certain U.S. military bases and facilities

Tokyo Merchant 2009 vs Skill Drain

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: At the start of the duel, the reason I chose scissors instead of rock was to foil my opponents paper. I saw this as a threat because paper is clearly the strongest of the three.
Duel: TokyoCandlelight vs mirinsan
Song: The FineEvery DayArtist: Kicco
I realised the potential of MagicalMerchant a while back, when I first used it in a PowerBondCyberOTK. I'd include 3 Magical Merchants and build the deck very monster heavy to increase the chance I'd mill 1 of 3 Cyber Dragons into the grave and add OverloadFusion to my hand via Merchant's effect. I also used 3 Monster Reincarnations to fetch the milled Cyber Dragons and Power Bond them together to (in most cases) win immediately. Back then it was impossible to make a deck like this, because cards ...

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

This museum was established to teach future generations about the culture of the shitamachi. The shitamachi was originally an area of Edo* where the common people lived. The word shitamachi is composed of the word shita meaning "down" and machi meaning "town," and one can often see it translated into English literally as "downtown." However, shitamachi is not the same as the English word downtown, which refers to a city's central businessdistrict. The shitamachi name originated from the actual level of the land in the area. In Edo, the land to the south-east of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) was lowlands, and the land to the north-west was a plateau, and during the formative years of the city, the lowlands became the place where artisans and merchants lived. This lowlands area near E...

MONEY EXCHANGE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵

How to exchange money in Japan? Japan is a cash society. Luckily, it is the safest country in the world so it's okay to carry large amounts of cash with you at all times without the worry of being mugged or held up. Generally there is no need to buy Japanese yen in your home country before your trip, as you will most likely pay a higher commission (about 3%) and a worse exchange rate than you would get at the airports, banks, or ATMs in Japan.
If you are changing cash, you frequently get a better rate at certain airport counters because they hold and trade that same cash out, but in inside the country the spread on cash is 3 to 4%.
Hint: Many machines issue bills of 1,000 and 10,000 yen. If you prefer to have some smaller bills, withdraw an amount such as 19,000 Y for 9 x 1,000 Y notes...

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: At the start of the duel, the reason I chose scissors instead of rock was to foil my opponents paper. I saw this as a threat because paper is clearly the strongest of the three.
Duel: TokyoCandlelight vs mirinsan
Song: The FineEvery DayArtist: Kicco
I realised the potential of MagicalMerchant a while back, when I first used it in a PowerBondCyberOTK. I'd include 3 Magical Merchants and build the deck very monster heavy to increase the chance I'd mill 1 of 3 Cyber Dragons into the grave and add OverloadFusion to my hand via Merchant's effect. I also used 3 Monster Reincarnations to fetch the milled Cyber Dragons and Power Bond them together to (in most cases) win immediately. Back then it was impossible to make a deck like this, because cards like Jinzo Returner and Wulf didn't exist. Now that they do, I couldn't resist trying this deck out :)
My edit fits in as many cards that activate in the grave as possible. Necro Gardnas don't really have a place in the deck, seeing as when the flood hits my opponent usually resorts to destruction rather than battle, but better to mill something that might save my life rather than a card that does nothing in the grave. I'm also using Lightsworn in my deck along with Herald Of Creation to resurrect JudgementDragon to be summoned after the mill. However summoning him is only possible if I open with either JD or Herald, because after I mill I have no other way to get them back. I chose ZombieMasters as Mezuki's target partly because they can swarm the field on their own without having to use the normal summon like Il Blud, but on the most part was their ability to discard. Often I start with Jinzo/Returner/Mezuki/Necro/Lightsworn/Marron in my hand that need to be in the graveyard to activate or benefit JD. I use a few monsters with draw power in hopes of drawing Merchant if I don't start with it. I also use Mystic Tomatoes to search for Sangan who then searches for Merchant. I only use one Dog Marron to free up space for other vital monsters. Usually when I mill and Marron goes into the deck, I kill my opponent on that same turn. If I don't, the various discard/mill effects can shuffle him in again after drawing him, to give me another turn if needed. The only drawback with this is drawing him before the mill. If I have Merchant, I can't activate it because I'll deck out. I need to first activate a discard effect to shuffle him back in, then set Merchant. The key monsters with discard effects are Zombie Master and Herald, but both depend on specific cards being in the graveyard which is unlikely in the opening few turns. My only other options are SnipeHunter, Morphing Jar and Dragon Ice. I'm considering adding a second Marron but for now it works ok :)

Satoyama Holiday in Japan 2020 Visiting the town of Omi-Hino-merchants
Part2
https://youtu.be/_PFhOrFNVGs
Tokyo Olympic Games will be held in 2020 and many people are planning to come to Japan. A lot of people are probably thinking of going to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
However these cities don’t represent Japan. If you want to see the authentic Japan, you must come to Satoyama.
One of Satoyama areas near Kyoto is Hino Town in Shiga Prefecture. It has many rice fields, mountains, and rivers to experience Satoyama life; such as Satoyama cycling, walking, mountain climbing, working in rice paddies and vegetable gardens.
On top of that, Hino is the birth place of Omi-Hino-merchants and it has historical significance. There are many Kominkas, traditional style Japanese houses which used to belong to Omi-Hino-merchants, and they are as elegant as Machiyas in Kyoto.
At the end of October there is a festival called Sajiki MadoArtFestival, and it is a good time to visit Hino along with Hino Festival in May and Hinamatsuri Kiko in March.
In this video I am showing the town of Hino during Sajiki Mado Art Festival.
If you are visiting Kyoto anyway, you should consider coming to Hino Town since it is only one and half hours from Kyoto. You can enjoy traditional Japanese culture here without surrounded by so many tourists.

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

This museum was established to teach future generations about the culture of the shitamachi. The shitamachi was originally an area of Edo* where the common people lived. The word shitamachi is composed of the word shita meaning "down" and machi meaning "town," and one can often see it translated into English literally as "downtown." However, shitamachi is not the same as the English word downtown, which refers to a city's central businessdistrict. The shitamachi name originated from the actual level of the land in the area. In Edo, the land to the south-east of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) was lowlands, and the land to the north-west was a plateau, and during the formative years of the city, the lowlands became the place where artisans and merchants lived. This lowlands area near Edo Castle became known as shitamachi.
There were many unique qualities that defined the shitamachi and still exercise an influence over the area today. For example, the shitamachi's high population density resulted in the building of crowded tenement houses called nagaya. These nagaya were made of wood and built very close together, which rendered the region highly susceptible to fire.This living environment bred a people with a unique disposition and way of life. The culture of the shitamachi is the culture of Tokyo's common people, and it contributed greatly to the culture of Edo just as it contributes to Tokyo as a city today.
People's lifestyles change when their living environment changes, and old culture is naturally lost over time. In 1868, Edo was renamed Tokyo and the city began to modernize, but traces of the old ways remained in the shitamachi. The massive destruction caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the wartime fires of 1945, and the reconstruction following these disasters are what really changed Tokyo. The 1960s saw a development boom spurred on by the 1964Tokyo Summer Olympics, and this era also saw a dramatic increase in the use of electric appliances, all which further sped the degree of change in the city. The initial movement for the establishment of this museum began during that time.
During this period of rapid change the people did gain convenience and comfort, but they began to lose or forget many other things. The desire to somehow preserve these things for future generations was the basis for founding the museum. Many supporters from within Taito-ku and beyond contributed a variety of items, and the Shitamachi Museum opened in 1980.

"360° KYUSHUxTOKYO" is the project that shows you the must-see wonders of Tokyo and prefectures of the Kyushu region, in western Japan, in pairs.
This chapter’s theme is “History”, introducing the Edo-Tokyo Museum(Tokyo) and Yoshinogari Site(Saga)
■Tokyo：Edo-Tokyo Museum
A realistic recreation of the Tokyo of three centuries ago, when it was a town named Edo bustling with merchants and craftsmen. The Edo-Tokyo Museum displays treasured historic buildings and scenes of everyday Edo life.
The museum also features a theatre for traditional Japanese artistic performances, such as "koto", the stringed instrument, "daikagura", a juggling and balancing act and "kamikiri", or papercutting.
Edo-Tokyo Museum
https://www.edo-tokyo-museum.or.jp/en/
■Saga：Yoshinogari Site
The Yoshinogari site is the scene of a village that existed here during the Yayoi period over 3,000 years ago.
The beautiful park recreates some 20 structures that existed
at the time.
There are plenty of Yayoi period activities to try here, including fire- and "magatama" (teardrop-shaped beads)-making.
The view across the charming village and ancient forest from the watchtower is breathtaking.

7 POPULAR JAPANESE DISHES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY JAPANESE
We've done 3 videos already on natto, a very traditional Japanese dish with no foreign influences. We decided to switch it up this time and make a video on Japanese dishes that a lot of people may think is traditional but is actually of foreign origins.
Most of these dishes came from the Meiji Peroid, shortly after Japan's national seclusion from the rest of the world.
1. Tempura
- tempura batter lighter, airier, crispier than other batters
- Portuguese merchants & missionaries before 17th century introduced the prototype for this cooking method
- Tempura came from the word latin word Tempora
- Over time, batter adjusted to maximise the Japanese seafood freshness. It got lighter and less fritter like.
- Some think the Indian pakora was picked up by the Portuguese and then to the Japanese which evolved into tempura.
2. Japanese CurryRice
- Iconically Japanese, family dish mum would make often
- Less spicy, more sweet & more thick than other curries
- Meiji Period
- Introduced by British sailors and merchants, and they got it from India
- Adjusted to Japanese palettes over time
- Curry thickness comes from the French roux
- Essentially Japanese curry is an Indian dish introduced by the British Empire and adapted using French techniques!
3. Tonkatsu
- Breaded deep fried pork cutlet using Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- Sauce is like a thickened Worcestershire sauce
- Meiji Period
- Rengatei, a Tokyo restaurant in 1899, though to have created Tonkatsu
- Influences from Austria's Wiener or Viennese Schnitzel and Italy's Cotoletta alla milanese (Milan)
4. Hayashi Rice
- Similar to Japanese curry
- Beef, onions, button mushrooms & demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- Origins from western beef stews eg. Beef Stroganoff, Beef Bourguignon
5. Ramen
- From China
- Chinese traders in late 19th century introduced Lamien
- Lamien became Ramen
Our 10 Things You Didn't Know About RAMEN video: https://youtu.be/x7N-zD0n4Hc
6. Hambagu Steak
- Japanese mince patty
- Demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- German roots: Hambagu Steak similar to Hamburg Steak
- Also similar to AmericanSalisbury Steak
7. Omurice
- Japanese omelet with Japanese fried rice and ketchup / tomato sauce on top
- Similar roots to Tonkatsu, in fact exact same restaurant Rengatei
- Inspired from French omelet
- Also inspired by the Japanese Chakin-Zushi
- The creator combined these 2 ideas
Which of these popular Japanese dishes did you already know the foreign history of?

How to exchange money in Japan? Japan is a cash society. Luckily, it is the safest country in the world so it's okay to carry large amounts of cash with you at all times without the worry of being mugged or held up. Generally there is no need to buy Japanese yen in your home country before your trip, as you will most likely pay a higher commission (about 3%) and a worse exchange rate than you would get at the airports, banks, or ATMs in Japan.
If you are changing cash, you frequently get a better rate at certain airport counters because they hold and trade that same cash out, but in inside the country the spread on cash is 3 to 4%.
Hint: Many machines issue bills of 1,000 and 10,000 yen. If you prefer to have some smaller bills, withdraw an amount such as 19,000 Y for 9 x 1,000 Y notes instead of 2 x 10,000 notes by withdrawing 20,000 Y. Breaking a large bill for a small amounts does not seem to be a problem in Japan though - most merchants carry plenty of change.
Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and larger restaurants. Small business hotels and small restaurants generally do not accept credit cards. The credit card company will charge a fee on your bill for foreign exchange (usually 1-3%), and there may be a surcharge from the retailer/hotel to pay by credit card - ask first.
Foreign currency and foreign travelers checks are not accepted anywhere in Japan except on certain U.S. military bases and facilities

Tokyo Merchant 2009 vs Skill Drain

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING: At the start of the duel, the reason I chose scissors instead of rock was to foil my opponents paper. I saw this as a threat because paper is clearly the strongest of the three.
Duel: TokyoCandlelight vs mirinsan
Song: The FineEvery DayArtist: Kicco
I realised the potential of MagicalMerchant a while back, when I first used it in a PowerBondCyberOTK. I'd include 3 Magical Merchants and build the deck very monster heavy to increase the chance I'd mill 1 of 3 Cyber Dragons into the grave and add OverloadFusion to my hand via Merchant's effect. I also used 3 Monster Reincarnations to fetch the milled Cyber Dragons and Power Bond them together to (in most cases) win immediately. Back then it was impossible to make a deck like this, because cards like Jinzo Returner and Wulf didn't exist. Now that they do, I couldn't resist trying this deck out :)
My edit fits in as many cards that activate in the grave as possible. Necro Gardnas don't really have a place in the deck, seeing as when the flood hits my opponent usually resorts to destruction rather than battle, but better to mill something that might save my life rather than a card that does nothing in the grave. I'm also using Lightsworn in my deck along with Herald Of Creation to resurrect JudgementDragon to be summoned after the mill. However summoning him is only possible if I open with either JD or Herald, because after I mill I have no other way to get them back. I chose ZombieMasters as Mezuki's target partly because they can swarm the field on their own without having to use the normal summon like Il Blud, but on the most part was their ability to discard. Often I start with Jinzo/Returner/Mezuki/Necro/Lightsworn/Marron in my hand that need to be in the graveyard to activate or benefit JD. I use a few monsters with draw power in hopes of drawing Merchant if I don't start with it. I also use Mystic Tomatoes to search for Sangan who then searches for Merchant. I only use one Dog Marron to free up space for other vital monsters. Usually when I mill and Marron goes into the deck, I kill my opponent on that same turn. If I don't, the various discard/mill effects can shuffle him in again after drawing him, to give me another turn if needed. The only drawback with this is drawing him before the mill. If I have Merchant, I can't activate it because I'll deck out. I need to first activate a discard effect to shuffle him back in, then set Merchant. The key monsters with discard effects are Zombie Master and Herald, but both depend on specific cards being in the graveyard which is unlikely in the opening few turns. My only other options are SnipeHunter, Morphing Jar and Dragon Ice. I'm considering adding a second Marron but for now it works ok :)

Tokyo Olympic Games will be held in 2020 and many people are planning to come to Japan. A lot of people are probably thinking of going to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
However these cities don’t represent Japan. If you want to see the authentic Japan, you must come to Satoyama.
One of Satoyama areas near Kyoto is Hino Town in Shiga Prefecture. It has many rice fields, mountains, and rivers to experience Satoyama life; such as Satoyama cycling, walking, mountain climbing, working in rice paddies and vegetable gardens.
On top of that, Hino is the birth place of Omi-Hino-merchants and it has historical significance. There are many Kominkas, traditional style Japanese houses which used to belong to Omi-Hino-merchants, and they are as elegant as Machiyas in Kyoto.
At the end of October there is a festival called Sajiki MadoArtFestival, and it is a good time to visit Hino along with Hino Festival in May and Hinamatsuri Kiko in March.
In this video I am showing the town of Hino during Sajiki Mado Art Festival.
If you are visiting Kyoto anyway, you should consider coming to Hino Town since it is only one and half hours from Kyoto. You can enjoy traditional Japanese culture here without surrounded by so many tourists.

【Tokyo Guide】Old life style of Japan#1（Ueno Shitamachi Museum）

This museum was established to teach future generations about the culture of the shitamachi. The shitamachi was originally an area of Edo* where the common people lived. The word shitamachi is composed of the word shita meaning "down" and machi meaning "town," and one can often see it translated into English literally as "downtown." However, shitamachi is not the same as the English word downtown, which refers to a city's central businessdistrict. The shitamachi name originated from the actual level of the land in the area. In Edo, the land to the south-east of Edo Castle (now the Imperial Palace) was lowlands, and the land to the north-west was a plateau, and during the formative years of the city, the lowlands became the place where artisans and merchants lived. This lowlands area near Edo Castle became known as shitamachi.
There were many unique qualities that defined the shitamachi and still exercise an influence over the area today. For example, the shitamachi's high population density resulted in the building of crowded tenement houses called nagaya. These nagaya were made of wood and built very close together, which rendered the region highly susceptible to fire.This living environment bred a people with a unique disposition and way of life. The culture of the shitamachi is the culture of Tokyo's common people, and it contributed greatly to the culture of Edo just as it contributes to Tokyo as a city today.
People's lifestyles change when their living environment changes, and old culture is naturally lost over time. In 1868, Edo was renamed Tokyo and the city began to modernize, but traces of the old ways remained in the shitamachi. The massive destruction caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the wartime fires of 1945, and the reconstruction following these disasters are what really changed Tokyo. The 1960s saw a development boom spurred on by the 1964Tokyo Summer Olympics, and this era also saw a dramatic increase in the use of electric appliances, all which further sped the degree of change in the city. The initial movement for the establishment of this museum began during that time.
During this period of rapid change the people did gain convenience and comfort, but they began to lose or forget many other things. The desire to somehow preserve these things for future generations was the basis for founding the museum. Many supporters from within Taito-ku and beyond contributed a variety of items, and the Shitamachi Museum opened in 1980.

This video is available with supplementary captions.
"360° KYUSHUxTOKYO" is the project that shows you the must-see wonders of Tokyo and prefectures of the Kyushu region, in western Japan, in pairs.
This chapter’s theme is “History”, introducing the Edo-Tokyo Museum(Tokyo) and Yoshinogari Site(Saga)
■Tokyo：Edo-Tokyo Museum
A realistic recreation of the Tokyo of three centuries ago, when it was a town named Edo bustling with merchants and craftsmen. The Edo-Tokyo Museum displays treasured historic buildings and scenes of everyday Edo life.
The museum also features a theatre for traditional Japanese artistic performances, such as "koto", the stringed instrument, "daikagura", a juggling and balancing act and "kamikiri", or papercutting.
Edo-Tokyo Museum
https://www.edo-tokyo-museum.or.jp/en/
■Saga：Yoshinogari Site
The Yoshinogari site is the scene of a village that existed here during the Yayoi period over 3,000 years ago.
The beautiful park recreates some 20 structures that existed
at the time.
There are plenty of Yayoi period activities to try here, including fire- and "magatama" (teardrop-shaped beads)-making.
The view across the charming village and ancient forest from the watchtower is breathtaking.

7 POPULAR JAPANESE DISHES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY JAPANESE
We've done 3 videos already on natto, a very traditional Japanese dish with no foreign influences. We decided to switch it up this time and make a video on Japanese dishes that a lot of people may think is traditional but is actually of foreign origins.
Most of these dishes came from the Meiji Peroid, shortly after Japan's national seclusion from the rest of the world.
1. Tempura
- tempura batter lighter, airier, crispier than other batters
- Portuguese merchants & missionaries before 17th century introduced the prototype for this cooking method
- Tempura came from the word latin word Tempora
- Over time, batter adjusted to maximise the Japanese seafood freshness. It got lighter and less fritter like.
- Some think the Indian pakora was picked up by the Portuguese and then to the Japanese which evolved into tempura.
2. Japanese CurryRice
- Iconically Japanese, family dish mum would make often
- Less spicy, more sweet & more thick than other curries
- Meiji Period
- Introduced by British sailors and merchants, and they got it from India
- Adjusted to Japanese palettes over time
- Curry thickness comes from the French roux
- Essentially Japanese curry is an Indian dish introduced by the British Empire and adapted using French techniques!
3. Tonkatsu
- Breaded deep fried pork cutlet using Japanese panko breadcrumbs
- Sauce is like a thickened Worcestershire sauce
- Meiji Period
- Rengatei, a Tokyo restaurant in 1899, though to have created Tonkatsu
- Influences from Austria's Wiener or Viennese Schnitzel and Italy's Cotoletta alla milanese (Milan)
4. Hayashi Rice
- Similar to Japanese curry
- Beef, onions, button mushrooms & demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- Origins from western beef stews eg. Beef Stroganoff, Beef Bourguignon
5. Ramen
- From China
- Chinese traders in late 19th century introduced Lamien
- Lamien became Ramen
Our 10 Things You Didn't Know About RAMEN video: https://youtu.be/x7N-zD0n4Hc
6. Hambagu Steak
- Japanese mince patty
- Demi-glace sauce
- Meiji Period
- German roots: Hambagu Steak similar to Hamburg Steak
- Also similar to AmericanSalisbury Steak
7. Omurice
- Japanese omelet with Japanese fried rice and ketchup / tomato sauce on top
- Similar roots to Tonkatsu, in fact exact same restaurant Rengatei
- Inspired from French omelet
- Also inspired by the Japanese Chakin-Zushi
- The creator combined these 2 ideas
Which of these popular Japanese dishes did you already know the foreign history of?

MONEY EXCHANGE IN JAPAN 🇯🇵

How to exchange money in Japan? Japan is a cash society. Luckily, it is the safest country in the world so it's okay to carry large amounts of cash with you at all times without the worry of being mugged or held up. Generally there is no need to buy Japanese yen in your home country before your trip, as you will most likely pay a higher commission (about 3%) and a worse exchange rate than you would get at the airports, banks, or ATMs in Japan.
If you are changing cash, you frequently get a better rate at certain airport counters because they hold and trade that same cash out, but in inside the country the spread on cash is 3 to 4%.
Hint: Many machines issue bills of 1,000 and 10,000 yen. If you prefer to have some smaller bills, withdraw an amount such as 19,000 Y for 9 x 1,000 Y notes instead of 2 x 10,000 notes by withdrawing 20,000 Y. Breaking a large bill for a small amounts does not seem to be a problem in Japan though - most merchants carry plenty of change.
Credit cards are accepted at major hotels and larger restaurants. Small business hotels and small restaurants generally do not accept credit cards. The credit card company will charge a fee on your bill for foreign exchange (usually 1-3%), and there may be a surcharge from the retailer/hotel to pay by credit card - ask first.
Foreign currency and foreign travelers checks are not accepted anywhere in Japan except on certain U.S. military bases and facilities

Plot

"Interior Design"

Directed by Michel Gondry. It is an adaptation of the short story comic "Cecil and Jordan in New York" by Gabrielle Bell.

Hiroko and Akira (Ayako Fujitani and Ryō Kase) are a young couple from the provinces who arrive in Tokyo with limited funds, short-term lodging and what appears to be a solid and mutually supportive relationship that will seemingly carry them through any challenge. Akira is an aspiring filmmaker whose debut feature will soon screen in the city — and hopefully lead to a more solid career; in the interim, he lands work wrapping gifts at a local department store. After securing short-term housing in the cramped studio apartment of old school chum Akemi (Ayumi Ito) — a career girl with a demanding boyfriend who grows weary of Akemi's houseguests — Hiroko hits the streets of Tokyo in search of a suitable apartment, finding a series of rat-infested hovels that neither she nor Akira can afford on their limited salaries. After Akira's film screens to dubious acclaim, one spectator informs Hiroko of the inherent struggles in relationships between creative types: often, one half of a couple feels invisible, useless, or unappreciated, something Hiroko relates to wholeheartedly in the wake of her numerous trials and tribulations in the unfamiliar city of Tokyo. She starts to question her role in the relationship, resulting in a startling transformation in which she turns into a wooden chair, and is taken in by a young man.
